How do I configure my email program?

Email is used for communicating by "mail" with other people on the Internet. There are many e-mail programs currently being used on the Internet, please note that our Customer Service Representatives are versed in using Netscape Mail, Internet Mail, and Eudora Pro/Light and may not have information on how to configure/use other E-mail programs.

When setting up your e-mail program(s), the following settings will most likely be used when configuring the program.

1. Incoming (POP3) Server: mail.yourdomain.com (NOTE: DO NOT put 'www' or 'pop', etc. in front of the domain!)
   Outgoing (SMTP) Server: whatever your ISP says to use (ex. smtp-server.houston.rr.com   smtp.sbcglobal.net)
   
   **Some Internet Access Providers require you to use their SMTP server. Refer to their website for information about their settings.
   
   POP3 account/user name: youremailaddress (This would be whatever account you configured in your control panel)
   
2. POP3 account/user password: This is the password for the POP email account that you have created.
